What changes in your day
Without Guwy, and with it
Without Guwy
- You block three hours for a lip blush and the client never shows or calls
- You ask for deposits by bank transfer and check by hand who has paid
- Some clients want to pay in full now, others just want to hold the spot
With Guwy
- You require a fixed or percentage deposit to book that time slot
- Payment happens in the booking itself, via Guwy Payments (Stripe)
- You enable deposit and full payment, and each client picks one
